Speaking to journalists in Bulawayo, Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko called for the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) to be disbanded and for new people to be appointed.
Mphoko said that Zimbabwe is currently not benefiting from ZACC which he accused of paying allegiance to some individuals in the Zanu-PF government. He said while there has been looting of precious minerals such as gold, diamonds and chrome, ZACC is only prosecuting certain individuals in government and some parastatals. Mphoko said the country needs a robust anti graft unit which will deal with criminals that continue to commit economic crimes through illegal dealings in foreign currency.

Mphoko calls for ZACC to be disbanded

Zanu-PF youths who were in the terraces at the National Heroes Acre on Sunday during the burial of Shuvai Mahofa, made interjections midway through Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko’s speech resulting in the intervention of state security agencies and police officers.
A youth identified as Cde Mafa said:
<blockquote>We are angry at President Mugabe for according Mphoko the right to preside over this funeral. He is our enemy; in fact, he and other G40 people are responsible for the death of comrade Chikoforo. They tried to kill her two years ago but she survived but now they have finally succeeded.</blockquote>
Another youth identified as Cde Elias said:
<blockquote>President Mugabe should have come to preside over the funeral because now the G40 thinks it has all the power while our candidate (to succeed Mugabe) is the loser. This will cause more tension within the two camps.</blockquote>

Minister of War veterans, retired Colonel Tshinga Dube, has told Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko that he will follow the rules and respect an order from the High Court. This comes after Mphoko urged Dube to dump the Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association led by Christopher Mutsvangwa. Mphoko reportedly said:
<blockquote>Cde Tshinga you are right, but do not include Matemadanda and Mutsvangwa in your issues. If you lean on those two, you will fall for sure</blockquote>
However, Dube responded with,
<blockquote>I do not lean on anyone. I do not lean on Mutsvangwa and Matemadanda. I just follow rules
The ZNLWVA led by Mutsvangwa is the legitimate association and we will continue to work with them. It is not about Mutsvangwa as an individual. If Mlala can go back to the others we will work with him. If he forces a congress and is elected to lead the ZNLWVA even if someone else is elected we will work with them.
If they want to form their own association, we will recognise them as well. The High Court ruled that we should recognise the leadership that is in place and that is what we are doing.</blockquote>

Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko who also serves as Minister of National Healing, Peace and Reconciliation avoided answering Nelson Chamisa’s question on the implication of First Lady Grace Mugabe’s announcement that President Robert Mugabe should name a successor.
Mphoko said he could not answer the question since the bulk of it was asked in Shona. He handed over the question to Emmerson Mnangagwa who said that the succession issue is a Zanu-PF and not a Government issue. Said Mphoko:
<blockquote>Thank you Hon. Speaker, I am not privileged because the bulk of his questions were in Shona.  I want to handover to my colleague, thank you.</blockquote>

The Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (Zaac) has complained that Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko is interfering with its operations and compromising its independence. Zacc chairperson Job Whabira told members of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Defence that they have since reported the VP to President Robert Mugabe so that he can deal with the matter.
Said Wabhira
<blockquote>Political interference by Mphoko is among some of those elements that impinge upon the independence of the commission, but these will be resisted, as we forge ahead because the Constitution gives us power to complete investigations without fear or favour.
On VP Mphoko’s issue, what happened is that we (Zacc) took the issue to the President through the chief secretary to the Cabinet, Misheck Sibanda, so that they take action on the interference.</blockquote>
Mphoko is reported to have ordered officers at Rhodesville Police Station to release two Zimbabwe National Roads Administration bosses who had been arrested on corruption charges.

Appearing before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Defence, Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) chairperson Job Whabira said that they have reported Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko to President Robert Mugabe for interfering with their operations.
Said Whabira:
<blockquote>Political interference by Mphoko is among some of those elements that impinge upon the independence of the commission, but these will be resisted, as we forge ahead because the Constitution gives us power to complete investigations without fear or favour. On VP Mphoko’s issue, what happened is that we (Zacc) took the issue to the President through the chief secretary to the Cabinet, Misheck Sibanda, so that they take action on the interference.</blockquote>
Whabira said there was no interference from Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

ZACC report Mphoko to Mugabe for interfering

Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko is reported to have taken some of his relatives including his grade three grandson on a trip to Russia at the expense of the taxpayers. Mphoko who is a former ambassador to Russia, travelled with a delegation of 55 to attend the 21st St Petersburg Economic Forum.
According to NewsDay, sources told the publication:
<blockquote>Mphoko is in Russia at the invitation of that country’s trade fair company and not the government of that country. This idea that he might have a chance to meet up with Putin is a creation of his supporters who would want to present him as having some sort of political gravitas.
…He took with him no less than 55 people including his grandson, who was dragged out of school just to go on the trip</blockquote>

Acting Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko has defended under-fire Zanu-PF National Political Commissar Saviour Kasukuwere saying the allegations raised against him were being fabricated. In an interview, Mphoko said:
<blockquote>We’ve had a number of senior party members holding this post,
These include the late Cdes Moven Mahachi, Border Gezi and Elliot Manyika. They all had no training except for Cde Webster Shamu, who also was once the party’s national commissar.
Nobody complained. Now, there is Cde Kasukuwere and some people complain and raise issues of training. This shows that their protests are not genuine. They have hidden agendas.
It’s clear that there’s someone whom they want to force into that position. If that’s the case they should ask President Mugabe to appoint a new commissar rather than embarrass the President and the party leadership.</blockquote>

In an interview with NewsDay, RTG group chief executive officer, Tendai Madziwanyika said they lost $800 000 after booking cancellations, following protests led by Sten Zvorwadza against Vice-President Phelekezela Mphoko’s continued stay at Rainbow Towers.
The group’s loss amounted to $4,7 million following retrenchment and separation costs ($0,6 million) and impairment costs related to discontinued operations ($0,5 million). In 2015, the group suffered a loss of $29 000 while revenue in 2016 declined by 11% to $24,1 million in 2016. Madziwanyika also pointed out that the introduction of bond notes also affected them as companies started stopping travels to see where the economy was going.

The Zimbabwe Peace Project (ZPP) has criticised Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko’s call on the army to intervene in Zanu-PF factional fights. The ZPP said that the military should not intervene in politics as its intervention will likely result in human rights abuses as shown by Gukurahundi.
Said ZPP:
<blockquote>It is clear that internal political party disputes do not constitute an emergency or natural disaster and any call for the military to be used in order to curtail the rights of ordinary citizens to pursue politics is unlawful.In the interest of peace and stability the ZPP condemns the invitation for the military to involve itself in internal ruling party politics and in civilian politics in general. Other political parties do not have the luxury of using the military to further their own political agendas and the military must be seen to be serving all citizens equally.</blockquote>

Mphoko criticised for calling on army to intervene in Zanu-PF factional fights

Norton legislator and former Zanu PF Mashonaland West chairman, Temba Mliswa has said that President Robert Mugabe is unlikely to fire Zanu-PF’s political commissar Saviour Kasukuwere. Mliswa is basing his assumption on Vice President and chairperson of the Zanu PF appeals committee Phelekezela Mphoko’s recent remarks that the allegations against Kasukuwere were factional.
Said Mliswa:
<blockquote>I don’t blame Kasukuwere. He is appointed by the President and it is the prerogative and pleasure of the President to fire him or to keep him there. It is pretty clear that this case is not going anywhere anymore because the chairperson of the appeals committee, VP Mphoko, has given a decision already before the matter comes before him. He said this is factional, this is (Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans chairperson) Christopher Mutsvangwa fighting Kasukuwere and, as the chairperson of the appeals committee, it means that even if the disciplinary committee chaired by Patrick Chinamasa reaches a decision to fire Kasukuwere, he can appeal to the appeals committee and they will reverse that. The appeals committee has spoken and I believe he (Mphoko) cannot say that before speaking to the President (Robert Mugabe). He has the eyes and ears of His Excellency and he has a right to go and see him on anything.</blockquote>

Mugabe unlikely to fire Kasukuwere based on Mphoko's statements says Mliswa

Vice President <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Phelekezela_Mphoko">Phelekezela Mphoko</a> has made astonishing claims that <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Morgan_Tsvangirai">Morgan Tsvangirai</a> was heavily involved in a plot to kill the late former Vice-President <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Joshua_Nkomo">Joshua Nkomo</a>. Mphoko accused the MDC-T president of being part of a mob which shot at the late ‘Father Zimbabwe’ in Masvingo. Mphoko however, did not get into specifics. He did not say when the alleged shooting took place or what happened afterwards.
Mphoko also said that the people of Matebeleland should not trust Tsvangirai’s promise to resolve the horrors of <a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Gukurahundi">Gukurahundi</a>  as he was heavily involved in that as well. Tsvangirai has been campaigning in the Matebeland region drumming up support for his party.
Mphoko said:
<blockquote>Tsvangirai was around here recently and said as MDC-T, they want to fix the Gukurahundi issue and also said Zanu-PF has failed and he can do it. Let us not forget that when the late Cde Nkomo’s car was shot at he (Tsvangirai) was at the fore-front, when an officer-in-charge was killed in Tsholotsho he was there too. The same person wants to address the Gukuraundi issue now.
Lina (you)Bulawayo Province you have undecided people, you do not know what you want when it comes to elections. We have no problems with other provinces in the region and also in Mashonaland but Bulawayo disappoints. You are the ones who suffer at the end of the day yet you do not know the power of your votes. You have adequate voting power which can change your lives but you just do not realise it</blockquote>
In the past, Mphoko has blamed the West for the Gukurahundi.
